Chapter 2: Tears
Blake couldn't believe what she just heard. She sat there looking up to Weiss dumbfounded at what she said. "What?" is all Blake could say, trying to understand what's going on.
Weiss gave Blake a sympathetic look knowing how unexpected her response would have been from Blake's perspective. "I was implying that we should go have some fun just the two of us and see what happens from there. So unless I'm mistaken I guess that would be classified as a date." Weiss responded to the distraught girl.
Blake looked to the ground blushing furiously, she couldn't even think straight anymore. Weiss the girl whom she had fallen for. The girl who has just recently learned of Blake's affection toward her is somehow taking this really well. Blake thought Weiss would have expressed disgust with her and never would have spoken to her again when she found out but she seems to be okay with it, this left Blake with a lot of questions that she wanted to be answered.
"Why?" Blake said looking back up at Weiss, trying not to make direct eye contact due to how uncomfortable she was.
Weiss simply smiled at Blake, "From recent… information. It looks like you have feelings for me and at this moment I'm not quite sure how I feel about you" Weiss said stating the truth.
Blake looked down feeling sad at what Weiss had just said. Weiss continued to watch Blake noticing the changes in her body language realising what she said made more of an impact then she thought. "But…" Weiss continued her thought. Blake's Faunus ears twitched, she looked back up a second time as Weiss kept talking. "I have realised something… I don't know why, but when I learned that you liked me I was really flattered. So… I am more than willing to give it a shot if you are… so Blake Belladonna will you go on a date with me?" Weiss said softly as she held out her hand to Blake.
Meanwhile Yang was hanging out with team JNPR in their room when her hyperactive leader and little sister busted through the door looking like she had just accidently pulled out some of Yang's hair.
"Yang… Something terrible has happened!" Ruby screamed to her sister looking ready to burst into tears.
Jaune began to panic when he saw how upset Ruby look, "What's wrong Ruby did someone get attacked. Are there Grimm in the school!" Jaune said automatically thinking of the worst case scenario.
"No not anything like that" Ruby yelled back still panicking.
Yang walked over to Ruby and stuck her arm around her sister's shoulder, "Ah come on sis what could possibly be so wrong that it would get you so riled up like this." Yang said trying to calm down her frantic little sister.
Ruby pushed Yang off of her and started to explain. "I was asking Blake if I could touch her kitty ears and she said no so I kept asking and asking but she kept saying no then Weiss came in and I asked her to help me but she started lecturing me about how rude I was being so I apologized to Blake then I asked Weiss if she wanted to touch Blake's ears and she said she wanted to well maybe not directly but then Blake said Weiss could touch them and I said it was not fair and then I asked if Blake liked Weiss and she ran away and I told Weiss to go after her but I'm worried that I really hurt Blake and I feel really bad I don't know what to do" Ruby said all in one breath because she was still panicking.
Yang thought for a second trying to processing the information. "Wait… So Blake's into chicks, Hmm I never would have guessed that she'd swing that way." Yang said a little amazed.
"No Yang that's not the point I'm afraid I ruined Blake and Weiss' friendship because I basically made Blake admit to liking Weiss while she was in the room. And now she ran off I don't know how to make this up to Blake." Ruby said expressing her concern.
"I guess you do have a point. I can't imagine how she must feel; we all remember how Weiss acted when she found out Blake was a Faunus." Yang said responding to her sister.
"If I may" Pyrrha chimed into the conversation. "We all shouldn't sell Weiss so short just yet, as Ruby said she told Weiss to go after her and she did so that speaks for itself that Weiss is concerned for Blake because if she wasn't wouldn't she have just avoided her from that point" Pyrrha said rationally.
"That's true" Yang said back.
"Come on Ruby I think we should go back to our room it's getting late and I'm tired" Yang said to her sister starting to walk to the door.
"But… what about Blake and Weiss. We have to go find them" Ruby said objecting to Yang's decision.
Yang turned to Ruby. "There is nothing we can do but probably cause more trouble, this is between them and we should let them figure this out. Okay" Yang said.
Pyrrha walked over to Ruby. "Ruby I think that would be for the best this is something that they need to sort out on their own and any interference will just probably make things more complicated" Pyrrha said backing Yang up.
"Okay if you say so Pyrrha" Ruby said calming down, trusting her friend.
Ruby and Yang left team JNPR's room and went back to theirs to go to sleep. Team JNPR looked at each other with unsure looks apart from Nora who looks like her usual happy self.
"Well that was exciting don't ya think Ren" Nora said to her best friend and partner.
"I guess you could say that, but it is still surprising" Ren said back as calm as he always is.
"Yeah I thought Blake had a thing for Sun, she even went to the dance with him." Jaune said thinking out loud.
"Well she doesn't have to like him in that way to go to the dance with him." Pyrrha said making sense as to why Blake went with Sun.
"Yeah me and Nora went together" Ren said chiming in.
"I guess that makes sense" Jaune said agreeing with Ren.
"Well now that's settled, Ren I'm hungry make some pancakes" Nora demanded pointing at Ren's pancake maker that she convinced him to sneak into Beacon.
"Fine Nora, you guys want some" Ren said to his other two team mates which was responded to with a loud yes from Jaune and an okay from Pyrrha.
After a couple of seconds Blake managed to calm herself down a little. She took Weiss' hand to pull herself up but she still felt like something was off.
Blake let go of Weiss' hand and turned away a little embarrassed, "Weiss I'm not quite sure if you really understand how I feel or if this is just pity but…" Blake managed to say before being cut off when Weiss grabbed her from behind into a hug.
"This is not pity. Blake I meant what I said, I'm serious." Weiss slightly yelled holding Blake tighter. "I know I may not have been the most open minded person before but I have been getting better at it. I don't want to lose you, you have become one of my closest friends along with Ruby and Yang. Don't ever tell them I said that." Weiss said starting to tear up at the thought of losing any of her friends.
Blake stated still in her embrace listening to Weiss' genuine words.
"I also never want to lose any of you. But Weiss I don't want to force you into anything, I'd feel terrible knowing that you are choosing to do this in order to make sure you wouldn't lose me as a friend. Just so you know I would never leave this team; my friends ever again so don't worry about me." Blake said thinking Weiss is only doing this in order to not lose her as a friend.
"But I do worry, we all do. You choose to not tell us anything regarding how you feel how could we not worry about you" Weiss yelled starting to cry.
Blake could only stay still as she felt Weiss' tears hit the back of her neck. Blake then realised she was not the only one who was hurting at this moment.
"And when I asked you on a date I knew full well of what I wanted to do… Blake I know I can't express the same sort of feelings you have for me but I realise there is something there, something in me that is saying go. So…" Weiss said still crying.
"Ok Weiss" Blake said cutting her off.
"Ok? What do you mean ok" Weiss said confused as she let go of Blake.
Blake turned to look at Weiss, "Ok I will go on a date with you" Blake said finally answering Weiss from when she asked the first time.
Weiss stood there as she took in Blake's sudden acceptance. "Oh… Ok" Weiss said taken aback.
The two girls stood there staring at each other their faces stained by the tears they shed, before Weiss after calming herself broke the silence by coughing into the fist as she went back to a normal tone of voice.
"Well that settles that then, we will go on a date and we'll see what come of it." Weiss said smiling at Blake.
Blake smiled back, "I'm looking forward to it."
And so do I Blake so do I… Well here marks the end of chapter 2 and please feel free to tell me if I made any terrible mistakes, now granted I am not the best at writing but I'm trying. Hell with my first fanfic, the first few chapters was bad but it was my first attempt at writing and I do believe I got better and the newer chapters from that fanfic were better. You know how I said I would fix the grammar mistakes of that story… well I will do that but I will also be rewriting at least the first 5 chapters and then just fixing the mistakes of the rest, But as of right now I want to focus on this story.
